Selfe, C and 21th Century Technological Literacy

             There are always synonyms or near-synonyms in our languages, including English. For this course that teaching digital literacy, Selfe's technological literacy is a synonyms to digital literacy.

             Here, Selfe gives a definition about technological literacy: "Technological literacy---meaning computer skills and the ability to use computers and other technology to improve learning , productivity, and performance." 
      
          In additional to this definition, Selfe states that "technological literacy has become as fundamental to person's ability to navigate through society as traditional skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic..."

       I actually agree with this opinion. The ability to adapt and better use the new technology coming  around us is as important as those traditional abilities such as reading, writing, and thinking that originally leading  us know who we are and what we are doing.
           In terms of literacy, Selfe holds a opinion that "literacy's changing agenda". In this point of view, Selfe consider technology combines with literacy is what we are going to deal with in order to complete our daily work nowadays.


          Based on this theory, Selfe expended it into the literacy education area, Which is what we are actually doing in the university today---using technology to writing, listening, watching, and communicating with each other.
